驪山別墅建在雅拉河谷的一座小山頂上，俯瞰四周32公頃的葡萄酒莊和60公頃的私家莊園，整個(gè)河谷的風(fēng)光盡收眼底。

建筑外形如同由兩條金屬管材構(gòu)筑的非凡雕塑作品。其中一根耐候鋼管安放在地面，另外一根好像隨意擺在其上，試圖找到一個(gè)穩(wěn)定的角度，鋼管兩頭前后分別懸挑6米、9米。設(shè)計(jì)按照南北和東西向精確設(shè)定了這兩根管材的位置。 從建筑頂部觀看，別墅位置正好在一個(gè)測(cè)量基準(zhǔn)點(diǎn)的旁邊，呈非對(duì)稱十字狀，標(biāo)定了指南針的四個(gè)基本方位。

簡(jiǎn)約美學(xué)的設(shè)計(jì)理念同時(shí)應(yīng)用在室內(nèi)和室外空間。室內(nèi)空間采用灰綠色染色刨花板作為第二層外皮。白色四圍空間把室內(nèi)劃分為三塊，兩端分別是臥室和辦公區(qū)，中間是生活功能區(qū)。建筑側(cè)面延金屬管長(zhǎng)向安裝的雙層玻璃隱藏在穿孔板的后面。一個(gè)朝北的耐候鋼穿孔板可以從頂部旋轉(zhuǎn)打開，形成置于10米長(zhǎng)的玻璃幕墻上的遮陽(yáng)挑檐。

Set on top of a hill, View Hill House overlooks a 32 hectare vineyard set on a 60 hectare property, with views across the entire Yarra Valley.

The simple proposition of two long metal tubes presents as a striking piece of sculpture. A Corten tube rests on the ground; another, in matt black aluminium, sits somewhat precariously on top at right angles, cantilevering six metres and nine metres at the front and back. The tubes are precisely aligned north/south and east/west. Viewed from above, the house - sited next to a trigonometric point- is an asymmetrical cross marking the cardinal points of a compass.

The inside is formed by the minimalist aesthetic that shapes the exterior. A second skin of grey-green stained strand board lines the interiors. White boxes break the internal volume into bedrooms and offices on the ends and living space in the middle. Double glazed windows in the sides and the long metal tube are concealed behind perforated panels. A large north-facing section of the Corten box lifts up in three sections, creating sun shade across the 10 metre wide living area glazing.
